Men's golf to compete in match-play championship in Long Beach

While it’s said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, the No. 4 UCLA men’s golf team will use it to prepare for a rare situation.

Over the next two days, the Bruins will attempt to replicate the format seen in the second round of the NCAA Championship at the Del Walker Match Play Championship at Virginia Country Club in Long Beach.

In nearly all of its tournaments throughout the year, UCLA plays in a stroke-play format where players’ scores accumulate throughout the tournament, but Monday and Tuesday they will play in the match-play format.

“It’s great we’re playing this event because nationals are match play if you make it to the final phase,” said junior Pedro Figueiredo.
